I believe Julliard already mentioned the column limit was bumped up (I believe it was actually 120?). 1024 resolution isn't exactly "typical" anymore, even for laptops - most developers I know actually have more than one screen nowadays. As for terminal emulators, they may default at 80 but that can always be changed.

I'd prefer to keep the 80 columns recommandation.

I have never seen a terminal emulator that defaults to anything other than 80 columns.
